(...) <snip> (...) For my part, doors - yes - I'd love more of them. Windows - not really. Most of the trains I'm familiar with in real life have windows that are very elongated - a lot longer than they are high. From my point of view Lego train (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You may want to call Shop at Home and get 3225 Classic Train before they sell out. It's about the best of the recent trains. Also look for 4565 in the stores (or get it from S@H). 4561 the newest train is ok, but I would hold out for a sale (I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hm, has anyone ever asked Shop at Home if they would send a carton of catalogs to you to distribute at shows? It would be neat if you could even specify getting one of the catalogs with trains on the cover. (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Of course glass is hard to come by, though at least right now you can get two panes of plain glass in the doors and windows parts pack. Of course until S@H runs out of 3225 there is a decent source of good train parts including 6 windows with (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Train doors and train windows are needed to make trains? Wow, I didn't know that. The genious of LEGO bricks is that you can use any combination of bricks to build what you want. Only the imagination is the limit. Who says trains need to have (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not a problem. Doors can be found in MT sets, windows are popping up all over the place (McDonald's, 2000 soccer sets). In fact, 2000 will be the best year ever for train window selection. -John (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't know if it's wishful thinking-- just maybe *expensive* thinking.... My suggestion is to forget the past and buy train stuff that is available now which gives you more bang for your buck. Anyway, I don't even keep the sets I have (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
